Keep goin red, your doing great keep up the fight. No money no gambling. All the bestx

Hope you're still going strong, Red. Satisfying cancelling a card, right? Cutting off access to large sums of money is crucial in the eary stages of recovery.

Closing in on one week again and feeling confident. Blocks in place and honesty all the way.

Still winning - will not give up giving up x

Keep goin red, your doing so well don't Give in to any urges as they are sneaky. Keep strong and winning,
No more losing x

Failed again but thankfully not to the point of full on self destruction. However, have just had a secret come out of the woodwork and have let everyone down again. I don't want to be this person anymore.

Will not give up giving up

Keep going Red, you can do this,

Its just a slip up we all make them, dust yourself down and keep goin, can you cancel your card and give the card to partner and take away the temptation.
We cannot win because we cannot stop.
Keep chin up red

Thanks for the support guys.

Just came clean with my mum about the debt. Most terrifying conversation of my life. And she's right (as always) there's only one person who can get me out of this mess - ME.

Staying strong and not going to let MYSELF down. Winning everyday we dont gamble 🙂

Terrifying conversation at the time Red, but the relief afterwards gives us such a big step forwards.

Have a good gambling free day and WIN for you.

Thanks Suzanne you too 🙂

1 week today! Feeling less stressed and definitely no urges to gamble, have no money to gamble with but I'm seeing that as a positive. Pay day next week will be two weeks - the longest I've gone, a challenge but I'm determind!

That's great red, I came clean to my mum last week best thing I did make sure u give her your bank card when u order new one. It will take all those urges away as u have no access.
All the best red, keep winning.
No more losing

Double figures! Staying strong

So tomorrow will be 2 weeks! At the beginning it felt like I'd never get to 2 weeks but I'm going to make it! Been much more productive at work which has kept me occupied and too tired at the end of the day for anything else. Still get the occasional urge but no money is a simply easy remedy to that. Payday will be the day of proving to myself that I have definitely changed my behaviour. Looking forward and staying strong - winning everyday.

2 weeks! I made it 🙂 tho I'm feeling SO anxious today. Mostly because it's pay day tomorrow but not because I'm worried I may gamble but because the magnitude of my debt is just feeling overwhelming right now. Even though I'm about to receive a good wage tomorrow I have so much coming out to cover some of the debt but the whole amount seems unachievable at this point in time. I know I'm going to be paying it off for some time yet and currently things are uncertain at work. Trying hard to focus on one thing at a time and recon firming that everyday I don't gamble is a step towards putting right all that I have been afraid/ashamed of. One day at a time - I will not give up giving up.

Keep it up now. Im on 11 days myself. Im 25 and without doubt this is the longest I have went without gambling in 10 years.

On a side note, I never knew the high amount of women effected by gambling until I joined this forum. Really opens your eyes.

Good Luck.
